WAMC (NPR station) fighting Bush admin - fund drive this week

[adigal]

Alan Chartock, director of WAMC, an Albany, NY, NPR radio station, says that they were told that their programming needed to "reflect the republican mandate given in the election of 2004." Well, Alan and the station are pushing back. They are the most wonderful NPR station. Alan Chertock is spearheading a fund drive to fight Tomlinson and the republican govt this week. He is a unapologetic critic of this administration and this station gives the total and complete story, even when unflattering to the administration. If you want to give to a NPR station, and have gotten disgusted with your's, give to them this week. You can stream their station on your computer here: http://www.wamc.org/

They are willing to stand up to the bullies in Washington DC and not have their programming dictated to them. As Chertock says, when Tomlinson told them their programming needed to reflect the "republican mandate given in the election of 2004" it was time to fight.

1. I sure hope my NPR station is fighting back

My local NPR station is WBUR in Boston. They produce quite a bit of programming that gets aired on other NPR stations.
